SIMON Cowell has confirmed that there will be a charity record for the victims of the Grenfell Tower block tragedy.

Officials fear the death toll could go past 100 as a fire chief revealed it would “be a miracle” to pull anyone out alive after a blaze tore through the tower block, believed to have started at around 1am Wednesday morning.
